Tanka 
A lake within me 
Night-full looks for an outlet 
The mere is empty 
Back to sleep dream of horses
Surviving in Serengeti

Outlet

I was always thinking too much
About good and evil and such
Fortunately sooner than later
I learned to put it down on paper...

Writer's Way

My outlet
My sanctum
My place to be free

My mind
My paper
My place to be me

My pen
My thoughts
My mind is a sea

My world
My outlet
My place to be

Premium Member In Angry Protest

Self-mutilation a crushing despair
Helpless rage, no solace anywhere

Inner directed emotional surge
Urgent outlet, implosive urge

With self-awareness to your own self be true
Project not unto others what's shameful in you

The News

I'm someone who just wants to know
The status-quo
Of ev'rything
Da-ba-da-bing

Television, print, internet
Each news outlet
I seek the scoop
An endless loop

The truth is now harder to get
That I regret
Bias prevails
Through secret veils
Form: Rhyme

Anxiety

Sometimes I feel electricity.
Anxiety.
Using my brain as an outlet for 
It's cyclic nature.
A build up of feeling
and emotions
Like a cold compress placed on
my forehead,
And left there.
Watch me shake like I'm scared,
But I promise
I'm not.

Premium Member Poetry, My Vocal Outlet-JU

I speak in tutored rhyme schemes 
of a world etched in wild dreams
deep red hue as ample phrase
from my voice that worldly maze

Lyric torrent’s golden twang
versed in magic tone I sang
pouring heaven on a page
laced with bright notes to assuage

A New Outlet

I'm so excited,
A place to write
Be myself, dedicated
A life so bright
So much to say
so little time
Ill go threw out the day
Rhyming in the meantime
But as for now I'll end with that
The start of a new beginning
My heart will chat
My soul will be singing
Form: Sonnet

100

Many many words
and my poems have changed
I didn't think I would get this far
This is my relief
to keep me sane
hiding in hidden messages
I have an outlet to share to the world
and I don't feel unspoken
This amazing feeling
I have accomplishment!
and no one to tell it to

Coming Back

Let me start writing,
my poems again. 
because it is my outlet,
and I have things to say.

I have been busy,
doing multiple things. 
And the only free time, 
I spend laying in bed.

Sometimes I wish,
I could go back in time.
Or forward the clock, 
and move to real life.

Premium Member Insecurities

Roadways and divided highways and destinations to encounter unexpectedly  treading on thin ice. Headed
Into a dead-end  no outlet  to take unconsciously. 
Directions were given were very diminutive  and insecurities 
entered to forms  judgments of self doubt and vulnerability visited.

Premium Member Idle Hands

a scribble here
a scribble there
my pen randomly
drawing diagrams and
spelling out words

meaningless chatter
idle artwork
mindless spilling of
thought overflow

nervous tic
kinetic outreach
mental gymnastics
creative outlet
for pent-up energy

To All the Super Soupers

A family we are.
Your kind thoughts brought to me tears.
That's how so sweet, to me, you are.
It's also (obviously) a great outlet for emotions,
Ones usually too hard to share.
But my heart is well enriched,
To know my Super Soupers, how much you care.

God Bless You All

Premium Member Return of Muck

This old man went to heaven in frail frame
With earthly waste bulged the belly became
Couldn’t long keep closed the outlet
Rushed to the astral toilet
Flushed water returned muck wherefrom it came.

Premium Member Light Hearted Kid

Do you remember when phones had a cord to the wall outlet? 
Our son was about five years old.
We were in a hotel room and he wanted to call daddy.
He ran over to the phone and picked it up. 
As he looked at me with a very puzzled look, he said it has no dial tone.
Yes, no dial tone because we are in a hotel room.

Cookie

I love you
but words could never say that
infact I don't think
there's a a known outlet
that I can think of  to let
you really know
what i said long ago
is true this isn't a game anymore
baby this is who we are
baby you will always have my heart
even when we are old or apart 
the love I have is with you ALWAYS
IN YOUR HEART

Poetry

My one ray of light
In my darkend world
I can write anything down
My emotions inspire me
An outlet for my emotions

Anger is my favorite muse
Anger drives my hand
It controls my words
Poetry
My world

My life
Natural talent for it
Never used to celebrate it
Now I embrace it
I love it

My emotions now have words.

Premium Member Opportunity

Occasion to explore
Options not yet pursued
Or paths not trod before,
Opening for change based
On honest soul-searching,
Outlet for deferred dreams,
Oasis in dry land

Poetry

To write poetry
Is to master an art
Where simple becomes artistic
Where ugly becomes beautiful
Where you give your thoughts
An appealing outlet
Poetry is like blood
Flowing in the nerves
Dripping from the tips of pen
onto paper
It is the words
that speak directly to heart
Poetry is a way to tell
to inspire
Without speaking...

Premium Member Road Trip

My ROAD TRIP this weekend is much needed
My threshold for patience has been exceeded!
Staring at 4 walls at home alone is the worst!
I need a getaway or my brain will burst!
The love of my life was always there when I needed
Now that she’s in heaven I’m seriously impeded
I’m so glad poetry is my venting outlet
Otherwise I might often break out in a cold sweat!
